October Week 4

Do before the weekend:

Read: Putting on the Armor of God Chapter 10 and think of an area

 in your life that you may be displaying a bit of addictive behavior –

some temptation that you give into again, despite your good intentions

 to do better (overeating, staying up late, getting angry, social media,

etc) With God’s help, work on one of these behaviors this week.  Write

what you learned in your journal. Track your 6 goals!

Do the rest of the study week:

 1. Word Study: Write your thoughts about what you learned about the principle for this month through your word studies and in class. Please include how you intend to live differently because of what you learned and the personal definitions you wrote in the two word studies the last two weeks.

2. Read: Polyanna (girls) or Stargirl (boys) OR both - and compare/contrast Polyanna with Stargirl!

3. Read: to page 64 of What Would the Founding Fathers Think?

4. Create: Create a final way to share what you learned about having a Christlike heart this month. Include some of the evidence that you learned in scripture, stories, nature, people and your experience (This can be your project for master class as well). Post what you are doing on the blog by Monday.

Some ideas:

-Create a lesson (maybe for FHE or mutual) about why and how to change your heart and give it

-Make up game or simulation that will teach what you learned and play it with a group

-Find out about someone that you don’t know well who is in need, plan and do service for them.

-Make a video - maybe about things you are grateful for and how gratitude can change a heart or about the process of change, for example.

-Write a song and preform it (or ask someone to preform it), film it and share it online or in class.

-Write a poem that includes visual aids or art work and share it online.

-Write a story or essay, include visual aids or art work, and share it online.
